I was at first - my brother had scoliosis as a child leading to a big op when he was 12/13. Then I realised that the bumps in the road have led him to be a successful and happily married man. challenges build character - so Iris will have lots of it 😏 thanks for the kind words, she’s a clever little thing and I hope she continues to surprise us.3 points

I'll be coming to the bash with my wife and kids as I did last year. My wife drops me off with the kit then takes the kids to the coast. We've changed car since last year (had a Zafira then, which you can fits loads into) so I've just tried to see what I can get in the boot of the new car. Bit disappointing as I can't get everything I wanted to bring in it. But then I had an idea. It's only about 90 mins from home so this should work for that short time as I can fit more kit on the back seats. Problem solved. See you Sunday!3 points

It depends how the P and J pups are wired. If it has a single Vol and Tone and a 3-way pickup selector switch (P, P+J. J) then, when in the P position it will be exactly the same as a P bass. On the other hand, if the pickups are wired Vol/Vol/Tone (or Vol/Blend/Tone) then the resistance of the additional pot changes the pickup loading and the solo'd P will sound slightly darker. It's not hugely noticeable, but there is a subtle tonal difference. If you want to retain the original tonal range of the P pickup then wire it with a selector switch.3 points

For a long time I've wanted to record a few songs with around 5-6 instruments purely for my own amusement. I have a Mac and said instruments but where do I start? I've never done this before and I'm aware that I need an interface to get the music from the instruments to the mac but what to use? It needs to be simple and effective, I know Focusrite make lots of stuff but I have no idea what to buy, or software? I have garageband somewhere and I tried that. I laid down one track and for the life of me couldn't work out how to switch the damn thing to track two. Any help to get me started would be much appreciated. tom.2 points

When this happens, don't sand it. Instead use the back of the sand paper to dust over the paint finish. This will remove all the gritty "nibbs", and doesn't remove as much paint.2 points

Quite! Class D has its benefits but there is a lack of personality to them. It can’t be just me that’s noticed a small rebellion away from Class D back to Class Heft.2 points -
The only downside for me would be that I`d continually be trying different permutations of pickups for the ideal sound, whereas with a straight P-bass it`s everything on full all the time, less to think about. Additionally if your sound is a PJ and you have to use a different bass for whatever reason, well it`s much more likely that a regular P-bass will be at hand, maybe a Jazz, so replicating the sound of a PJ could prove difficult, easier to obtain a regular P-bass sound.2 points

If nothing else a PJ gives you more places to rest your thumb when playing, so giving you more tonal options.2 points

It’s a great pedal. In fact I’ve just spent the last two hours playing mine. I’m sure you’ll love it. The gated fuzz in the Nøjs side is brilliant. (The only thing I’d like to see improved is the addition of separate dry knobs for each side of the pedal; there’s just one and it mixes the dry into both sides of the pedal. It means you can’t switch between a sound with dry and a sound without dry using the foot switches.) The Octabvre Mini is also great but a different kind of vibe (more mids) and is well worth getting too.1 point

It is genuinely awesome. It sounds better imo than the Ampeg CL I had for a short while. Plus there’s the overdrive on it. So now my DG Alpha Omega is kept for proper hi gain parts.1 point

Time to call in the cavalry! @bartelby Hey buddy would you mind setting up a patch on your B3 with 3 PEQ effects, two centred at the lowest 20Hz setting and one a notch higher at 25 Hz? All three with Q=4 and maximum cut "-20" and posting what that looks like compared to clean by-pass please?1 point

I'm just a little concerned here. If the original tweeter is a piezo it isn't likely that it has a crossover or that if it does it will match a 'proper' horn driver. People seem to be implying that early Markbass models used a piezo and later ones a coil driven unit, which would have had some sort of crossover. You really need to check before you start swapping things around. Without some sort of crossover the bass will go through the replacement tweeter and destroy it as soon as you play at volume. Piezos have high impedance at low frequencies and so filter out bass by their nature, this saves the cost of a crossover and is one reason why they are so cheap. If it is a coil/magnet based compression driver and horn in your speaker then any replacement would need to match the spec of the old unit fairly well in terms of sensitivity, impedance and power handling at least. It looks like others have used the HT30 successfully so I'd copy that mod in your position, but check first.1 point

Scoop, this is a vintage quality bass. Do it a favour, take it to a proper geezer bloke luthier to sort the problems, and suck up the cost. You'll be glad you did in the end1 point

I think the best definition of 'is a band *really, really* metal' is if the font they use for the band name could be mistaken for a Relentless energy drink. The more indecipherable the lettering, the closer to death (or beyond death?!) the music.1 point

I used to attend a lot of Killing Joke gigs back yonder and their intro music included two snippets of songs that I loved but I could never ascertain who they were by. Turns out it was Faith Healer and Booids by SAHB. What a front man, what a guitarist, crazy and so sinister.1 point

It depends which DRs you're talking about. The round core versions (Fat Beams and Sunbeams, not sure if there's others) are noticeably more flexible than the EXL170s I was using previously (similar gauges). But it's not as if the D'Addario nickels are particularly taut either, however I notice the difference. DR Hi Beams are more taut for sure. Not sure about the others in the range as I haven't tried them.1 point

Lovely bass. In the description you mention it has early 'slot pole' pickups but the pics show hex pole adjusters.1 point -
Have you thought about using car paint? The quality of decent car paint is superb compared to most off the shelf aerosols and a decent paint factors can mix it up to order in any one of about a million colours. My local one (Jawel) charges about £10 for an aerosol which easily do a guitar body, primer and lacquer are about £6 a tin off the shelf. If you want any specials like metal flake that usually adds a couple of quid.1 point

I have one - Peavey says the speakon outs are paralleled, whatever that means ? 4 ohms minimum so i'm guessing it will take no lower than two 8 ohm cabs ( one in each speakon ) or one 4 ohm cab in one of the speakons. I guess " paralleled " means they are not seperate mono amps, otherwise i could run my 2 Beyma 2x10 cabs which are 400 watt and 4 ohms each. Instead, i run my single 8 ohm 600 watt self build Fane 1x15 cab Peavey call the Kosmos button "Built-in KOSMOS® bass enhancement and psychoacoustic sub controls " ... but i can tell you its identical to an octvaer, and a brilliant one at that. Just be careful when you engage it I love it - the options for EQ ing are outstanding. And it weighs less than my slippers. I managed to score an ex demo model for an excellent price, but no peavey bag. I sourced a rather spiffing sturdy padded laptop bag off NastyBay for £14 If your taste for amps are similar to mine, you'll love it1 point

Is anyone else doing Adam's signature sounds course? I signed up over the weekend so I've done a couple of the introductory lessons and reviewed some of the other sections. It's early days yet, but so far, so awesome... I'd be interested to hear what other people think, because it seems to be changing the whole way I look at and approach my DB. BTW This is the first course I've done here and I'm finding the course website well laid out and easy to use and navigate too. Nice work Geoff.1 point

If you like filter based basses like the wal, alembic would have been a good choice but the models with filters are quite heavy which is something you are trying to avoid. Like was mentioned above, the ACG filter based basses would be good alternative and the weight is a comfortable.1 point

You want a change and a lighter bass? Get another Wal, a lighter one this time.1 point

After a couple of slurry-and-wipe sessions with Tru-oil, I've then given it three wipes with slightly thinned Ronseal Hardglaze applied, as usual, with a budget soft micro-fibre cloth. Although the new formula Ronseal is a bit quirky and doesn't self level quite enough, this is probably the quickest I've got to an acceptable finish at 3 days total from sanded wood: After a week of letting it harden fully, I will polish it up properly with Meguiars Ultimate compound but this is perfectly tough enough for normal handling already so hopefully the build will be finished over the next 2-3 days1 point
